Sonnet V

2/24/97

To love her in my arms
and hold her tight
to keep her nice and warm
to dream of her that night.

To laugh and dance
with her in the summer rain
to make love and romance
that night in Spain.

I'll kiss her tears
if they should fall
I'll erase her fears
I'll be her protective wall.

I'll take the bullet if there's a need.
To love her, I"ll take the bleed.
